Thanks tonecas!
What if you want to download more than just events. Say, you just drove an off road trail and want the recording. Can that be done via Wi-Fi, or do you have to pull the SD card?
IMHO, I would not rely too much on WiFi functionality. It’s there, it’s cool to pull a clip or two, it’s great to use as temporary viewfinder when you mount the cam,...
TBH, WiFi is not low-power. Even with a PMP or Neo/B124 pack, it will just drain your battery faster while giving more work/heat to the camera.
I’d recommend that you get a USB-C/Micro/Mini/lightning MicroSD card reader to connect to your phone. I keep one in each car.
Or get a WD MyPassport Wireless, which has built in SD card reader. You can have it set to automatically backup an inserted memory card, and it’s pretty fast (it has built in battery).
"You will have to set the cam to connect to your home wi-fi, probably every time you go home..."
Ugh, really? I was hoping it would connect when I got home and upload at least the events...
I would just throw a 256GB Samsung Evo Select (U3, green color, on sale at Amazon lol), and just back up regularly.
Is there really any point in spending the money to "upgrade" to the Blackvue? And the time undoing and redoing the hidden cabling!
What are the benefits over the Blacksys?
Video quality. Cable tucking can’t be that bad, and it will be worth it for “peace of mind”, right?
